What an incredible article! My thanks to whomever tossed this one up. It's easy, and the results look great. We might want to stress the "do this outside" toxicity bit, but otherwise, kudos!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

That was ian posting it. (There's numbers in his name). Let
me go edit it to put his credit up top.

Nice job in finding this

That is great. I'm already periodically buying "bumps" of pipe-cleaner material to make trees for BattleTech, so I just have to look one peg over for some barbed wire-to-be.

Thanks for the praise, I'm kinda on a strict budget, so I even have like ruined buildings made from Powerade boxes...
I should maybe bold the part about the fumes cause that is extremely nasty stuff.

Dude, thats inspired! i was woundering what i could use as a cheap alternative! really nice job!

Definitely. And some of those brushes are made with plastic bristles, so there's even a possibility of them melting onto your skin. D: Not fun.

SNAPPAGE! I must try this, as I have alot of wire needed for a far future project of finishing my trenches.

Wow that really is a quick and easy way to make the wire! I might use it myself

Thanks so much for the great article. This is exactly what I need for my trench table.

Thanks for the great tip going to try it when I get home.

Using this for terrain NAO!

This is ...LEGENDARY! i make all of my terrain at home, and use copious amounts of toothpicts and other things, now i must add pipe cleaners to the list!

Wow, this looks like razor wire!

Ah now that is inspired . Cheers!

Fantastic! Definitely going to be doing this. I'll probably take a candle outside the next day its not raining and not too windy. That way I can sit down and be more careful with both hands

There's all sorts of plastic things that can be melted into awesome stuff and every time I see a new one I just don't know why I didn't think of it myself. It always seems so obvious after you already know.

Thanks!
